London to NY in 1 hour through a vacuum tube
Airplaines might soon be seen as a slow form of transport, at least compared to the proposed vacuum tubes by e3. BBC reports that NY to London might go as fast as 1 hour, or more than double as quick as Concorde.
According to the manufacturer, et3, the new form of transport is both low cost, safe, faster than jets and electric at the same time. ET3 can also provide 50 times more transportation per kWh than electric cars or trains. It almost sounds too good to be true, don’t you think?
Above: Photo from ET3 how the actual cabins or vacuum tubes might look like.
The big question: When will it arrive? Both American and Chinese companies are working on bringing it live within around 10 years. Who will be first; USA or China? Well, as long as London to NY can be made in only 1 hour, I don’t mind whoever gets first.
